Aida - 2007/02/13 18:52 So ever summer the local community theatre does a couple "Youth Theatre" productions. One of the directors just sent out emails to let everyone know what show he's doing. As you may have guessed by the Subject he doing Aida. I don't know much about the show so I looked it up but I was just wondering if anyone has done this show before and what type of a song would be good. The show isn't until this summer and I don't know if he has the first or second slot this year so I don't have to audition for awhile but I'm curious. Kylie

Re:Aida - 2007/02/13 19:37 I love Aida! I haven't performed in it, but I have seen it live. The music for Aida was written by Elton John, and it is a very much a pop-sounding musical. So I would definitely pick a contemporary song from a show that has a pop feel.

Unfortunately my brain is mush right now from lack of sleep last night, and I can't think of any song suggestions!

Re:Aida - 2007/02/13 21:03 Aida is a love triangle between the nubian princess Aida, now a slave to the egyptians, who falls in love with Captian Radames who is engaged to Princess Anmeris. To go into acting is like asking for admission to an insane asylum. Anyone may apply, but only the certifiably insane are admitted.

Re:Aida - 2007/02/14 15:02 I LOVE this show! The music is simply amazing. One of the local theatres where I live is doing it next season and I cannot wait to audition!
To echo the others who have replied it is definitely a pop style musical, so you would want to pick an audition song from another pop style musical. If you go the Aida page on this website there is a link to other pop style musicals, so I'd begin your search for an audition song there.
Good luck with your audition
